Silversand Horsemanship Foundation Skills 2 - Equestrian Groundwork and Horse Back Riding

The Silversand Horsemanship Programme is designed to teach the principles of good horsemanship to people who desire to work in a way that is more fitting to the horse’s point of view. Created by Steve Halfpenny, it takes into account the horse’s natural way of dealing with new situations and places and works on the supposition that he is always trying his best to deal with what is being presented to him. It is also the awareness that some things appear to the horse to be of a life threatening nature although this is not always apparent to us. In fact the hardest thing for us as humans to do is to be able to see things from our horse’s perspective. If we are unable to do this we will never truly get to the point where we can work together with the unity that comes from being totally tuned into each other.

Silversand foundation skills are designed to teach you how a horse thinks and learns, and has an emphasis on safety and control. In Foundation skills 1 you have already learned how to teach your horse how to become a confident, soft, riding horse.
